The birth of Solo Capital
Mr Sanjay did not start out in the financial industry, as he had studied medicine instead which led him to become an accountant and worked for a couple of investment banks. He was made redundant in 2009 during the financial crisis, and without any prospects for a new job, he took on the challenge of starting his brokerage company and this started the beginning of Solo Capital.

Origin of Autism Rocks
Sanjay also founded Autism Rocks an organisation that aims at raising money for research by and creating awareness about autism by throwing concerts. His first Autism Rock concert was in 2014 with Prince, and only invited people. Since then, Mr. Sanjay has held other concerts which featured Lenny, Drake Kravitz, Snoop Dogg, Michael Bublè, and other numerous well-known DJs.

To spread more awareness via Autism Rocks, Mr Sanjay spent over US$100,000 on the domain name Autism Rocks to set up a website for the organisation. He’s also a trustee of Autism Research Trust, which offers monetary support to Cambridge University’s Autism Researchers. Mr Sanjay and his wife have made their donations to the trust as well.
